companies that pay more than UPS ground?

You have a pretty good gig, yourself. Holland drivers get paid.
I know you gave up some but still better than over 90% of all trucking jobs out there.

 

Yeah our recent contract gave up 15% of our wage to YRC since they bought us out. Our fearless leaders are bustin' out about 1/3 of the freight we do...

But yeah, I came to Holland from one of those 90% places... glad to be where I'm at, despite the minor pitfalls.

 

I was fortunate enough to get a job at USFH after CF closed and stayed there for 6 years .

 

The worse thing about the 15% is the pension is also gone with usf right?

 

Well not Totally gone but nearly... We only get 25% for each year now.

Love what YRC has done with the place... ಠ_ಠ

 

100k at Wally?

 

Only jobs that pay more than UPS's feeder driver position is probably food service. Mclane drivers are none to make over $120k. There was a recent post where the OP mentioned Domino's distribution making $140k. Walmart is none to make over $100k. USPS has drivers making over $100k. And the various LTL companies out there.

 

The only ups driver making less than $135,000 a year isn't working his hours. 80cents plus for mileage, $35 plus an hour straight time, $50 plus an hour OT, that said I still wouldn't go back to night work for $135,000 plus a year, but money is not my #1 priority any more,

 

Worked at UPS myself. Hated the work environment. I'm working at USPS and the pay is just as good. $30 an hour, $32 at night. Should go up to $34- $36 when arbitration is over. $45-47 OT after 8.$60-64 after 10 hours. $40 on Sunday, $80 after 10.

 

Happiness is much more important than a large w-2, in my opinion. But there is good life after Buster Brown! Some weeks it even pays as good or better but it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of life.
